does Firefox no longer support sites like The Guardian, like the Atlantic, other news outlets. it never lets me sign in but returns to the home page after signing in with email and password. What do I do?

No idea if this is the right topic or not but I've been dealing with this frustrating issue where with some websites it just loads a blank white screen. I've tried every fix I could that I've seen on forums like this as well as on Reddit and nothing I've tried has fixed it. From launching in Safe Mode or changing things in about:config. Before finishing this post I tried launching in safe mode, so my add-ons and plugins are disabled and it still persists with websites loading in these blank white screens. I never had this issue at first and I'm sure it started to happen after an automatic update a while back.

I need this issue sorted out so I can look and compare items from shops but most of the time a website that works and I look at it elsewhere I'm dealing with this issue. No issue looking at stuff on the internet on my phone, though I do use safari instead on my phone.

Avast reports that it has secured the threat of 'addons.mysafe-search.net' which tries to start when i open Firefox. I've been unable to find any reference to the site anywhere on my PC so cannot uninstall it.

I just installed the MozillaVPN extension on my Windows10 laptop but can't use it because when I select the tool, it tells me to download and install Mozilla VPN - which is already running ! I've tried closing and re-strarting Firefox, and stopping & starting the VPN manually, but that doesn't make any difference.

I used to play World of Tank and look at YouTube on my second screen. Everything went smooth untill this week. YouTube on Firefox on my second screen is lagging or freezing. I tried Opera, I tried Edge it worked fine, but with Firefox, it is no more possible to play YouTube on my second screen while playing. It is not a matter of graphic hardware as this issue only happen with Firefox. I tried to deactivate every module and to reinstall Firefox (either the Beta version) but still got the same lagging and freeze on YouTube. Do you need anything that can help you to investigate this issue, this is really terribly frustrating and boring.

When trying to read a download,half the page is covered with a little pen scrolling across the page covering the text. Is this a Firefox issue and only Firefox as can't shut it off? Don't know how it got ON.

I use a website in the UK alljigsawpuzzles.com The page loads fine and freezes with the firefox browser. Other browsers work fine. I have been unable to determine if a setting is the problem. I use https only. When I removed this setting, it allowed me to scroll for a few seconds and then froze again. Do you know what the problem is? It's true they recently upgraded their website. Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks! All updates are up to date.

I've been a Firefox user for at least 10 years. I recently installed Firefox on a new desktop PC, and the Firefox Privacy Notice tab popped up. "No worries," I thought, and read it and made my cookies choice. I didn't find anything about a separate "submit" or "Close" gadget, so I simply closed the tab. Now, every time I leave the Home page or open a new tab, the Firefox Privacy Notice keeps popping up. Please advise me how to close it for good.

Unfortunately, I have lost all of my browsing history on Firefox. There are no recently closed tabs that I can restore, and I've also checked for recently closed windows, but there are none to recover. It feels as though my entire digital footprint has vanished, leaving me unable to revisit important pages or retrieve valuable information I was previously accessing. Please help me.

Asking after trying way too many things FIREFOX 135.0.1 (64-bit) lates version and fully updated.

Playing Youtube Videos fails as the video keeps loading forever.

It happens randomly but often. It could happen trying to play the video the first time (keeps loading forever) or if the video is playing ok and you try to search any frame in the video or jump some time in the video, the frame stops and keeps loading forever.

I suspect it could be an extension because if I use Firefox in troubleshooting mode it works. However I tried to disable extensions one by one until none was enabled and still fails. Tried all options in the proxy. BRAVE works ok (but I installed it fresh to check another browser, I still prefer Firefox)

The issue happens only on Youtube. Youtube premium. Images attached of an example video that got stuck and loading and the list of extensions that I have, I tried to DISABLE ALL thes EXTENSIONS and still fails (???)

For the past week or more the browser freezes up. A message comes up about "waiting" or discontinue. It often finally begins to work again; however the problem persists and very annoying. Can anything be done?

The font/text sizes in the main window are fine and easily adjustable. But the text in Bookmarks and the top parts of Firefox pages (address bar, tabs, quick links row) is so small it's difficult to read. I've searched for a way to enlarge it, but can't find one.

I've been trying to adjust the text size on my new PC, but it seems when I get it right on the desktop screen, it's either too small or too large on something else. If it makes a difference, I'm using Windows 11 on a Dell 8960 desktop PC.

Can you please tell me how to make the top and sidebar text in Firefox as large as that in the website window?  Thank you.

For about 1 month now whenever I perform a google search using the address bar I get no response. I have to close and reopen FF afew times untill it performs the search.

This occurs in my synced account in any of my Wiondows devices. Troubleshoot mode makes no difference.

I've uninstalled all 3 plugins which iI use but to no avail.

I've been a Firefox user since the beginning, but every few years I leave the browser because it becomes unusable. I am at one of those inflection points now.

During the past few weeks, I've run into web pages that simply will not work in Firefox. I have not tracked all of the URLs, but can tell you they include navigation of Tax1099 (a website used to send tax documents) and AT&T, where I could not access their Premier shopping page. These pages load easily in Chrome and Edge.

Yes, I've tried standard troubleshooting, including disabling my longstanding extensions and all suggestions in this article (http://mzl.la/1xKrMnN).

I simply do not have time to troubleshoot this every day, every time I need something in timely fashion. It is a huge time suck. Firefox has -- again -- become an impediment to my work flow and it seems time to leave it, again.

I;m not asking for help; this is simply a fact. And Mozilla should consider it a reason why Firefox has lost popularity. Most people will simply move on, and not do any troubleshooting, take the time to search for solution or write to this board. In the past, I've been told that this is MY problem with MY systems (because this happens on two different computers). Whether or not that's true, it doesn't change the fact that other browsers do not have this problem. Ever, in my experience.

Whenever I start a Youtube video ever since turning on Dolby Atmos, there is a good 2-3 seconds of audio cut out of the beginning of every Youtube video launched. This doesn't happen on Edge or Chrome. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox and restarting Firefox but this does nothing. Even when I rewind the video, the audio is not there even though the video is playing.

I've noticed recently after system reboots that Firefox forgets the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting and restarts with only a blank tab. I've confirmed that this setting is ticked prior to the reboot. I know I can restore the session under History but why isn't Firefox remembering this setting and re-opening the windows & tabs like previously?

Running Firefox 135.0.1 and Mac Sequoia 15.3 (but has been happening in recent previous versions of both).
